[QUOTE="Paladin300, post: 2057070, member: 115299"] As I mentioned in my original post. I bought this gun based on my smith’s recommendation as the Sako is the only factory action that will support the 375/338 Improved platform with little to no work except a simple re-barrel. Going to drop it in a KRG whiskey 3 chassis and re-barrel with a bartlein barrel. Not sure what twist, length or profile yet. Both the smiths I use are backed up right now and it looks like it will be after the first of the year before we can start on the project. Was just going to play with the 30/378 till then and see if I liked it. One of my smiths is trying to talk me into a 28 nosier. I agree with you the heavier bullets do better and stay stable through the transonic layer. Imho, anything 220gr or heavier seems to do just fine. The heavier the less spin drift affects it as well, hence the choice of the 375/338 AI. [/QUOTE]
